Lost World is a pinball machine released by Bally in 1977. The game features a fantasy theme. [1] It should not be confused with the pinball machine Escape from the Lost World from 1987. [2]
Lost World is the first pinball machine that uses electronic sounds which replaces chimes. It is also the first machine that uses a backglass produced by the four-color process. [3] The game spawned a sequel - Paragon released in 1979. [4]
The machine features a simple gameplay with the goal of hitting the A-B-C-D-E-F targets repeatedly. The playfield contains very few other feature including three pop bumpers, two kickouts, a captive ball and a spinner. [5]
The backglass depicts a dragon, a warrior and a woman. Designer Paul Faris and his wife were the models for the latter. [6] His daughter was later also the model for the Christine Daaé character on the backglass of the pinball machine The Phantom of the Opera . [7]
Lost World is one of four tables in Williams Pinball Classics released in 2001 by Encore for Windows. [8]
